#1 Florida law works differently than in other States (for example only 6 people on jury). Also, the judge, while generally favorable to the prosecution, is not totally so. For example she denied the prosecution's motion to add child abuse just so they could get a felony murder conviction (of course that motion was pretty close to over the top insanity, but whatever).

#2 ...If he's acquitted, I have no doubt in my mind that US Marshals will be standing outside the courthouse to arrest him on charges of violating Martin's civil rights. (If you don't think so, google Stacy Koon) George Zimmerman will serve time, if it's the last thing the Federal Government ever does.

#3 How many people will die and how much property will be destroyed in the inevitable riots if he is acquitted?

I agree with Mike K: Obama and Holder will ensure that Zimmerman serves time. After all, he killed a kid who could have been Obama's son.

#4 The DOJ is paying for protests. If anyone hets hurt or killed after verdict, blame lays squarely on that corrupt Holder and ultimately the scumbag President.

#5 If the riots were met with massed rifle fire from actual citizens, it might put a stop to this kind of nonsense. Yeah, the police will do nothing, but if enough citizens fight back, it might put a stop to these moronic riots.

#6 Federal civil rights charges are definitely Plan B.

My bet: the jury comes back with a compromise verdict of manslaughter. The prosecution doesn't have a case, but women are emotional creatures and manslaughter is a 'nice' compromise. Something for everyone. Zimmerman goes to jail, the verdict is overturned on appeal.

#7 Silentbrick, that is why they tend to riot in their own neighborhoods.

#8 SteveS, even if the jury convicts Zimmerman of 2nd degree murder, it will be thrown out on appeal.

In any case, Zimmerman is a marked man. If he goes to prison, someone will kill him there. If he is acquitted, he will probably be killed eventually. Any company that hires him will be picketed. His house will be torched.

#9 Goes to show what a little bit of publicity will do for you. Thanks, MSM. Thanks a bunch.

#10 In any case, Zimmerman is a marked man.

Rambler, I believe, most of the people this propaganda is directed at have attention span of cockroaches.

#11 Anyone else think the judge looks like Chris Farley from the old SNL Gap Girls skits?

#12 Perhaps judge Nelson would like to place Attorney General Holder under oath and ask if he would like to testify, or possibly the President or members of congress. If this becomes a conviction, and the conviction stands, it will have [already has had] a chilling effect on everyone's right to self defense. The termination of employment of the policeman was telling. This will not end well for freedom or the 2nd Amendment, which may be the purpose of a potential conviction anyway.

#13 Actually, if they convict him and it stands, you will see alot more dead criminals winding up hanging from trees or appearing in out of the way places.

Alot of Americans are tired of it. If the police refuse to protect people as believe they should ( I know there's no legal right to police protection, we're talking about perception) you will see an increase of people settling their 'debts' the old fashioned way.

#14 Well Mudpump, you could be right. When POTUS weighed in with that "If I had a son...." bullshi* statement, I knew we were in trouble.

#15 When the POTUS opened his big mouth (and I believe it was with full knowledge of the outcome) he pretty much signed Zimmerman's death warrant.

What's one more death of a mere 'White-Hispanic' if it would further enflame race relations?
